Join us at Words that Change the World, a novel fundraising event to benefit The Telling Room. This first-of-its-kind night at Ocean Gateway on Thursday, May 16th will feature world-changing wordsmiths and storytellers—both emerging and established—whose work has a tangible impact on our community. The evening begins at 5pm with a host reception, followed by a powerful line-up of performers and writers:
Drag Storytime with Chartreuse Money
Ian-Khara Ellasante, Poet & Scholar
Callie Ferguson, Investigative Journalist
Featuring Telling Room Authors
Cameron Jury, Leigh Ellis, and Mo Drammeh
Host ticket sales support The Telling Room's writing and publishing programs, which empower youth through writing and share their voices with the world. Through this event, The Telling Room is excited to support our partner in programming, the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, which works to enrich the literary life and culture of Maine.
